Children's Chores Chart

One of my boys' jobs each night is to unload the dishes. The same question goes out every night:

"Who's turn to unload?" The answer? always the same... "not mine, I did it last night" and a second "not mine, I did it last night" and a third "not mine, I did it last night" and then there's my 2 year old who chimes in... "not me" in his own, 2 year old, words... {I have to admit, that part is pretty cute!}

So, the best way to avoid the question, all together, is to get their chores charts up and running:

I created and printed the chart

and found some clear inexpensive clipboards at Walmart

My boys have their own little cubbies in our back entrance and I wanted to hang them there, so I added some ribbon for hanging.

I am EXCITED to Announce that I am SELLING these Chores Charts over on my Etsy Shop! You can find them {here} I created a chart for boys and another for girls. Your choice of either blank or customized with your child's name and the list of chores.

Hey, even if your not in need of some chores charts right now, pop on over to delightfulorder.etsy.com every now & again. My plan is to be continually adding new items.

Love them! They are so simple which is very important for young children! I am currently working on putting one together for my 5 year old and 2 year, but I am so indecisive that I haven't finalized my "plan" yet! Ha!

Really cute chore chart! I am a BIG advocate of children pitching in. Your chore chart is a heck of a lot cuter than mine! lol Best of luck on the sales... if you want to do a guest post on my blog at some point about them... I'd love for you to.

My three brothers and I had a chore chart growing up...KP duty (kitchen police!), bathroom, family room, basement. It hung on our refrigerator and we had name magnets that got rotated. I like your idea too!

I have a 10,8 and 5 year old and I hear the "Not Me!" everyday! I am SO going to implement this chore chart. I do WAY too much around the house and when I ask them to help they act like I just asked them to cut off their arm. Thanks for your great idea and for linking up @ Thrifty101! :)
